Semiannual Report
March 31, 2008


Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

May 15, 2008

Dear shareholder,
We present you with the semiannual report for Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six-month period ended March 31, 2008.

Performance
Over the six-month period, the Fund declined 4.16% on a net asset value basis and 6.20% on a market price basis. Over the same period, the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category, posted median net asset value and market price declines of 3.64% and 3.22%, respectively. Finally, the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), returned 0.75%. (For more performance information, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 8.)

During the period, the Fund’s underperformance was largely the result of an overweight to intermediate-term bonds, which lagged their shorter-term counterparts.

The Fund continued to use leverage during the six-month period. As of March 31, 2008, leverage accounted for approximately 43% of the Fund’s total assets. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside.

A word on the Fund’s auction preferred shares (“APS”):
As you may know, APS are a type of preferred stock issued by many closed-end funds. The Fund issued APS to raise assets that were then used to leverage the Fund’s investments (that is, buy more municipal securities). In utilizing leverage, the Fund has sought to deliver higher yields and returns to the Fund’s common shareholders. (For purposes of clarification, purchasers of APS in a closed-end fund are known as “preferred shareholders,” while the remaining investors are known as “common shareholders.”)


1

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

In the time since we last reported to you, demand for APS has seen an unprecedented decline leading to the widespread failure of APS auctions. (Essentially, an auction fails when existing holders of APS looking to sell their shares are unable to do so at that particular auction, because there are not sufficient buy orders.) It is important to note that these failed auctions are not “credit events” for the Fund; that is, they do not result in a default by the Fund. Rather, they are liquidity events that impact a closed-end fund’s preferred and common shareholders differently.
     
Given that the Fund’s preferred shareholders have experienced a loss of liquidity due to their inability to sell their APS, they are entitled to receive dividends at a “maximum rate.” This rate is based upon a formula in the Fund’s governing documents, and is currently calculated and reset on a weekly basis. Preferred shareholders will continue to receive dividends calculated in this manner until auctions successfully recommence or APS shares are redeemed by the Fund or certain other events occur (for example, shareholder-approved APS restructuring).
     
At this time, because the Fund’s costs related to APS dividends remain lower than the long-term earnings generated by the Fund’s portfolio investments, the yield realized by the Fund’s common shareholders is greater than it would be without the leverage.
     
The Fund’s board and UBS Global Asset Management are carefully monitoring the situation, including the level of reset rates. We cannot predict when (or even if) the next successful auction will occur. This depends on factors outside of our control, including the supply and demand for APS and general economic conditions.
     
We remain keenly aware of concerns relating to our preferred shareholders’ loss of liquidity and the impact of the Fund paying dividends to preferred shareholders at the maximum rate. At this time, we are evaluating a number of options, and would update investors should a particular course or courses of action be adopted—most likely, initially through a press release. Unfortunately, given the complexities involved, it takes time to evaluate options and to carefully consider the impact on the Fund and all shareholders.
     
An interview with Portfolio Manager Kevin McIntyre
Q.   What is bond insurance, and how did the impairment of some monoline bond insurers affect the Fund?
A.   Many bond issuers frequently use bond insurance to improve the credit quality of securities that they want to issue, with a goal of making it easier and less expensive to access credit markets. Bond insurance was


2

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

    intended to boost credit quality by offering protection against default by the issuer or downgrade if a bond issuer cannot meet its obligations to pay interest and principal to bondholders in a timely manner. Historically, this also has led to enhanced liquidity for insured bonds because there was greater demand among investors for highly-rated securities.
     
    Companies whose primary line of business is to provide insurance services to one industry are called “monoline” insurers. Monoline insurers back approximately 50% of the municipal bonds outstanding. Major bond insurers in the US include Ambac Assurance Corporation, CIFG Guaranty, Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, Assured Guaranty Corp., Financial Guaranty Corp., and MBIA Insurance Corp.
     
    No major monoline insurer had ever been downgraded, or had defaulted, prior to 2007. However, in 2007, amid a housing market decline and the global credit crisis, subprime and adjustable rate mortgages and related securities were placed under extreme strain. Many monoline bond insurers posted losses as insured structured products appeared headed for default, and utilization of bond insurance fell precipitously by the end of 2007. Several of the major insurers were downgraded by the major ratings agencies, and lost their AAA ratings.
     
    During the period, the turmoil in this portion of the market weighed on the value of many municipal bonds, hindering performance. Given that a significant percentage of all municipal bonds are insured, your Fund, like many others, was impacted even though its primary focus was not on insured bonds. Some monoline insurers avoided the problem areas and were not impaired. We anticipate that the market will focus more on the underlying credit quality of the issuers of insured bonds; yet we believe that bond insurance will likely continue to be an important aspect of the municipal bond market, which has seen the entrance of new insurers
    (e.g., Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Corp.).
     
Q.   How would you describe the economic environment during the reporting period?
A.   The US economy, which had been fairly resilient through the third quarter of 2007, weakened considerably during the reporting period. After reporting that third quarter 2007 gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was a very strong 4.9%, the US Department of Commerce said that GDP growth sank to 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007. Advance estimates for first quarter 2008 GDP growth remained just 0.6%. A variety of factors caused the economy to stumble, including the ongoing troubles in the housing market and tepid consumer and business spending. Housing prices continued to fall and credit conditions


3

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

    have tightened due, in part, to the massive writedowns associated with subprime mortgages.
     
    While the job market had held up relatively well during the fourth quarter of 2007, it too has faltered. The US Labor Department announced that payrolls fell in each of the first three months of 2008—the longest consecutive decline since 2003. In March of 2008, 80,000 jobs were lost, the largest monthly decline in five years. In addition, the unemployment rate increased 0.3% to 5.1% in March, reaching its highest level since September 2005.
     
    Despite slowing growth, inflationary pressures are mounting. Typically, when economic growth slows, falling demand helps to temper rising prices. However, record high oil and rising food prices have caused inflation to remain elevated.
     
Q.   How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) manage the federal funds rate over the period?
A.   The Fed has been aggressive in attempting to ease the credit crunch and keep the US economy from falling into a recession. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke initially indicated that the issues related to the subprime mortgage market would probably not impact the overall economy. However, as the problems and fallout from subprime mortgages escalated, the Fed moved into action by pumping substantial amounts of liquidity into the financial system in order to facilitate normal market operations. In mid-September 2007, the Fed reduced the federal funds rate from 5.25% to 4.75%, the first such cut since June 2003. (The federal funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.)
     
    Since that time, the Fed has lowered the fed funds rate on six additional occasions. In late April 2008, following the conclusion of the reporting period, the rate was lowered to 2.00%—the lowest level since 2004. In conjunction with this latest rate cut the Fed stated: “Recent information indicates that economic activity remains weak. Household and business spending has been subdued and labor markets have softened further. Financial markets remain under considerable stress, and tight credit conditions and the deepening housing contraction are likely to weigh on economic growth over the next few quarters.”
     
Q.   How did the bond market perform in this environment?
A.   Both taxable and tax-free municipal bond prices fluctuated during the reporting period. Issues related to the bursting of the housing bubble and subprime mortgage meltdown triggered several “flights to quality.”


4

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

    During those times, investors flocked to the relative safety of shorter-term US Treasuries and largely shunned other types of fixed income securities—even high-quality municipal bonds.
     
    Overall, during the period, two-year Treasury yields fell from 3.97% to 1.62%, while 10-year Treasury yields moved from 4.59% down to 3.45%. The Treasury yield curve steepened during the reporting period, as short-term yields fell sharply given the Fed’s numerous rate cuts, while longer-term yields fell to a lesser extent due to inflationary concerns.
     
Q.   Municipal bonds have appeared in the headlines in recent months. What were some of the issues impacting the municipal bond market?
A.   Toward the end of the reporting period, municipal bond prices fell dramatically. We believe this was mainly due to issues related to bond insurers, together with forced selling by highly leveraged hedge funds and concerns that slower growth could impact some issuers’ ability to meet their debt obligations.
     
    While the municipal bond market rallied somewhat in March, it underperformed the taxable bond market over the six-month reporting period. During this time, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned 5.23% and 0.75%, respectively. Within the municipal bond market, shorter-term securities outperformed their longer-term counterparts, and higher-quality bonds outperformed those of lesser quality, as investors became increasingly risk-averse.
     
Q.   In general terms, how did you position the portfolio?
A.   During the reporting period, we extended the Fund’s duration somewhat, although it remained slightly shorter than that of its benchmark. (Duration is a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, and is related to the maturity of the bonds comprising the portfolio.)
     
    In terms of yield curve positioning, we maintained a “bulleted” strategy, in which we held securities of specific maturities, based on our expectation that the yield curve would steepen. In particular, we held overweight positions versus the benchmark in the seven- and 10-year area of the curve, which was beneficial to results. Our underweight to the 20+ year portion of the curve also contributed to performance. In contrast, our underweight to the shorter end of the municipal yield curve detracted from results, as this area generated strong performance during the reporting period.


5

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Q.   Which sector positions were important for the Fund?
A.   Our largest three sector weights were in hospital, university and airport bonds. We continued to find the hospital sector attractive due to efficiency improvements and stronger management at a number of companies. Airports have been an area of focus for the Fund for quite some time, as they possess what we believe to be compelling risk/reward characteristics. We also found universities to be attractive, as our research indicated that they were undervalued, and we believe they offer valuable diversification for the Fund.
     
    Our hospital and university exposures did not meaningfully affect the Fund’s performance, while our overweight in airports detracted from performance during the reporting period, due to concerns over the impact of the weakening economy.
     
    We reduced our exposure to general obligation (GO) bonds, which detracted slightly from performance. GO bonds are issued with the belief that the issuer will be able to repay its debt obligation entirely through taxation, as no assets are used as collateral. Overall, we found these bonds to be less attractive given the slower growth environment and moderating tax revenues.
     
Q.   Were there any states or regions that were an area of focus for the Fund?
A.   A large portion of outstanding municipal securities are issued by a fairly small number of states. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 56% of the Fund’s holdings were in the securities of issuers in five states. These were California, Texas, New York, Illinois and Ohio.
     
    During the reporting period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to states facing budgetary challenges, such as California and New York. Our increased exposure to Ohio was largely the result of the purchase of the state’s tobacco settlement bonds.
     
Q.   What is your outlook for the economy and the municipal bond market?
A.   Continuing concerns regarding housing, subprime mortgages and the value of various financial assets have had a negative impact on the economy. We expect that the Fed’s actions and fiscal stimulus initiatives are likely to alleviate some of these stresses. We plan to continue to monitor the economic data closely as we seek to add value for our shareholders.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) return assumes, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. NAV and market price returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged, unleveraged measure of the total return for municipal bonds issued across the United States. Index returns do not include reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Organization and significant accounting policies
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on August 6, 1992, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end diversified management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires the Fund’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded



26

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board or its delegate determines that this does not represent fair value. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the last bid price available on the valuation date prior to valuation.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of March 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported on the Statement of operations for a fiscal period.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the affect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.



27

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Futures contracts—Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Variation margin calls could be substantial in the event of adverse price movements.

Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses and would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, the Fund would continue to be required to make variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being hedged or to maintain cash or securities in a separate account. Furthermore, certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that movements in the prices of the financial futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being hedged, including temporary price distortion. The separate account for margin will be maintained at the futures counterparty and may be subject to risks or delays if the counterparty becomes insolvent.

Dividends and distributions—The Fund intends to pay monthly dividends to common shareholders at a rate level that over time will result in the distribution of all of the Fund’s net investment income remaining after the payment of dividends on any outstanding auction preferred shares. The dividend rate on the common stock is adjusted as necessary to reflect the earnings rate of the Fund. Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends to auction preferred shareholders are accrued daily. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Concentration of risk
The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of various states. Economic changes affecting those states and certain of their public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of the issuers within those states to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Fund.

Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is obligated to pay UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets attributable to holders of common and auction preferred shares. UBS Global AM has agreed to waive a portion of the advisory and administration fee so that the Fund’s effective fee is 0.90% of average weekly net assets attributable only to holders of common shares. This waiver will continue indefinitely unless the Board agrees to any change. At March 31, 2008, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $110,509 for investment advisory and administration fees, which is composed of $194,362 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $83,853. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, UBS Global AM waived $495,000 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $11,259,418. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in



29

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions. In addition, Morgan Stanley may participate as a broker-dealer in auctions for the Fund’s Auction Preferred Shares and receive compensation. Amounts received by Morgan Stanley, if any, will vary depending upon that firm’s participation in an auction, and such amounts are calculated and paid by the auction agent from money provided by the Fund.

Restricted securities
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s “Portfolio of investments.”

Auction preferred shares
The Fund has issued 800 shares of auction preferred shares Series A, 800 shares of auction preferred shares Series B, and 600 shares of auction preferred shares Series C, which are referred to herein collectively as the “APS.” All shares of each series of APS have a liquidation preference of $50,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends upon liquidation.

Dividends, which are cumulative, are generally reset every 7 days for each Series of APS pursuant to a process specified in Fund charter documents. Dividend rates as of March 31, 2008 for each Series of APS were as follows and reflect the “maximum rates” under the governing instruments as a result of “failed auctions” in which sufficient clearing bids were not received:

Series A   3.016 %

Series B   3.229 %

Series C   3.229 %



30

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The Fund is subject to certain restrictions relating to the APS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of APS at liquidation value.

The APS are entitled to one vote per share and, unless otherwise required by law, will vote with holders of common stock as a single class, except that the APS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law. The holders of the APS have the right to elect two directors of the Fund.

The redemption of the Fund’s APS is outside of the control of the Fund because it is redeemable upon the occurrence of events that are not solely within the control of the Fund.

Purchases and sales of securities
For the six months ended March 31, 2008, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $21,902,075 and $21,410,704, respectively.

Federal tax status
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt income and any taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2007

Tax-exempt income   $ 10,569,720

Ordinary income     5,107

Total distributions paid   $ 10,574,827

The tax character of distributions paid and the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be calculated after the Fund’s fiscal year ending on September 30, 2008.

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

For federal income tax purposes, which was substantially the same for book purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized depreciation of investments at March 31, 2008 were as follows:

Tax cost of investments   $260,816,101  

Gross unrealized appreciation   1,601,124  

Gross unrealized depreciation   (8,585,315 )

Net unrealized depreciation   $(6,984,191 )

The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and no material changes to the beginning net asset value of the Fund.

As of and during the period ended March 31, 2008, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three year period ended September 30, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Fund for the period ended March 31, 2008.

Clarification to asset segregation policy

Cover for strategies using derivative instruments—Transactions using derivative instruments, other than purchased options, expose the Fund to an obligation to another party. The Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies or other options, forward currency contracts or futures contracts or (2) cash or liquid securities, with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. The Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for such transactions and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in a segregated account with its custodian in the prescribed amount.

With respect to futures contracts, the Fund will cover its obligations under the futures transactions in which it participates by either (i) holding offsetting positions that appropriately equal the daily market value of the Fund’s position in the futures contract (less the initial margin and any



34

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

variation margins deposited with a futures commission merchant); or (ii) accruing such amounts on a daily basis and maintaining segregated assets to cover the futures contract. With respect to a futures contract that is not contractually required to “cash-settle,” the Fund must cover its open position by maintaining segregated assets equal to the contract’s full, notional value. However, the Fund may net non-cash settled futures contracts if the futures have the same expiration date and underlying instruments. With respect to a futures contract that is contractually required to “cash-settle,” the Fund is permitted to maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily marked-to-market (net) obligation (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability, if any) rather than the notional value. By setting aside assets equal to only its net obligation under cash-settled futures contracts, the Fund will have the ability to employ leverage to a greater extent than if the Fund were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts.

Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding derivatives instrument is open, unless they are replaced with other liquid assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to cover positions or segregated accounts could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet current obligations.

Dividend reinvestment plan
The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all common shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, unless such common shareholders elect to receive cash. Common shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the name of another broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan. The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A common shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and common shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in

writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on the share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records. An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a common shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share of the common stock at the time of the purchase. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares of common stock in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions will be paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-800-331 1710.
